Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (sold) (中国地质科学院)
The Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (中国地质科学院; 1956 - present) is the premier research institution in mainland China for research in geology and related fields. Given the geological diversity of China and the limited number of previous studies due to warfare, poverty, and disorder for much of the 20th century, the Academy has advanced from a limited basis to pilot several groundbreaking research projects in recent decades.
